Photos: Vigils mourn Connecticut shooting victims

Mourners staged vigils around the country in memory of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The peace and security of the suburban Connecticut community lay shattered on Friday after a gunman attacked a primary school in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history. Tearful parents and children gathered around Sandy Hook Elementary School by midday on Friday, surrounded by police vehicles, as young and old alike struggled to make sense of a shooting rampage that killed at least 28 people, including 20 children.
